Dear Friends
i take pen in hand to informe
you that we recieved your acceptable letter
sum time past and was pleased to hear of
your well fair and that you thought of visiting
your friends this way once more but we have
allmost got discouraged looking for you as time
slids so swiftly a way and I all most begin to think
that we shall make you a visit first in the Ohio
as things seem at present to present I thought I
would let you know that we are at liberty to seek
our fortunes as Levi Arnold has laitly sold his farme
for twenty five thousand Dollars to Jerad Skerbarughs
cuming hear in the spring to live J Smith has
written to Daniel that if we have a mind to cume to
Philadelphia that he will healp him to a farme
but Daniel wishes to live on his own land
if it is but a little which no one will think strange
that if we do not go to Ohio now we neaver shall. it looks
like a great undertaking to me to move so far but time
convinces us that we have to do many things
